My cousin-in-law helped me achieve my ambitions.

"Su Ming! Quick, put your pants and clothes on!" Hearing the urgent knocking at the door, Qiu Tong, his cousin-in-law, panicked and jumped out of bed, urging, "Quickly put the mat away too!"

After saying that, she tidied her hair and hurriedly walked out of the living room.

Su Ming was taken aback, vaguely sensing something was wrong. He hurriedly scrambled up from the bamboo mat, quickly put on his jeans, and just as he fastened his loose belt and fumbled for his shirt buttons, the living room door lock clicked.

Before he could put the mat away, a slightly overweight middle-aged man entered his cousin's rented room.

The man wore a crisp short-sleeved shirt, his hair was neatly combed, and his gaze swept across the room before finally settling on Su Ming, whose clothes were disheveled and whose buttons were only half-buttoned. His eyes were like icicles, cold and sharp, mixed with undisguised suspicion and jealousy.

"Who is he? What were you two doing in the room?" The man glanced at the somewhat disheveled Su Ming, then at the bamboo mat that hadn't been put away yet, before turning to look at Qiu Tong. His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an imposing and unyielding authority.

"Oh! Why are you jealous!" Qiu Tong immediately moved closer, her face plastered with an almost ingratiating smile. She took the man's arm, her voice softening several degrees. "This is my cousin. He just came from our hometown. He's just a kid, only eighteen, six years younger than me!" She swayed her slender waist, her soft breasts pressing against the man's arm. "He just arrived from our hometown. The living room was too hot, and there was no air conditioning, so I let him sleep on a makeshift bed on the floor in his room all afternoon. What are you thinking! You're arguing with a kid."

The man's expression softened slightly, and he hummed in response. His gaze returned to Su Ming's face, and he asked with a scrutinizing look, "What's your name?"

"Su Ming!" Su Ming lowered his head, avoiding the man's gaze. It was the first time he had been mistaken for someone having an affair, and he was inevitably a little embarrassed.

"Alright, I was just asking! Let's go, let's go into the room." The man smiled, stretched out his arm, and naturally put his arm around Qiu Tong's waist, half-embracing her and leading her into the bedroom.

"Snap!" The door closed and was locked from the inside.

Su Ming was somewhat confused and couldn't accept it for a moment. In his memory, his cousin-in-law, who was pure and innocent like a fairy, had fallen in love with another man.

Although her cousin had been gone for over two years in a car accident, her sister-in-law was entitled to find love again. However, she was the most beautiful of all their relatives, almost like a movie star, gentle, generous, and had a prestigious, stable job when she married her cousin. From childhood, she had given Su Ming an ethereal, otherworldly impression. Now, she was a stranger in a strange land, doing *that* with another man in a room right in front of him. This caused Su Ming a great deal of disappointment. He felt both indignant for his cousin and disheartened by the fall of his goddess.

A few minutes later, the sounds of a man's panting and Qiu Tong's soft moans came from the room, followed by the creaking of the Simmons bed.

Su Ming stood frozen in place, his shirt hem still open. His ears were ringing, and his face was burning.

This is incredibly disrespectful! What kind of nonsense is this? Maybe we should knock on the door and stop them!

But they've already gone this far, so what difference would it make if they stopped her this time? Her cousin is dead, does she expect her sister-in-law to never touch a man again? Sigh, never mind, let's hear what's going on first!

A surge of emotions, a mixture of shock, shame, and inexplicable anger, rushed up, prompting Su Ming to tiptoe two steps toward the door from which the sound was coming, wanting to hear it more clearly.

However, as soon as they got close to the door, the noise inside suddenly stopped.

"Sigh... I'm not feeling well today, probably because I didn't sleep well last night..."

"It's okay, you've already done a great job."

A gentle voice came from the room, as if she were comforting the man.

Su Ming moved even closer.

"I'll be going on a business trip to another province for a meeting, so I won't be coming over. Take care of yourself." The man's voice returned to its cold tone, and the sound of someone getting dressed could be heard from inside the room, indicating that they had already gotten up.

Su Ming hurriedly stepped back, almost bumping into the coffee table in the living room.

The man opened the door and came out, his clothes now neat and his hair perfectly styled. He glanced at Su Ming, who had retreated to the wall, and casually asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"No..." Su Ming shook his head. He curiously sized up the man, his intuition telling him that this man was no ordinary person.

The man pulled a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet and handed it to him: "Here, go out to eat with your cousin later!"

Su Ming's lips moved as if he wanted to say, "It's my cousin's wife, not my cousin," but Qiu Tong had already rushed out of the bedroom, snatched the money, and stuffed it into Su Ming's hand: "Just take it!"

Her silk nightgown was somewhat disheveled, with the top two buttons undone, revealing a patch of snow-white skin and clearly visible cleavage. Her hair was also messy, and the flush on her face had not yet faded.

Seeing his cousin-in-law's state, Su Ming immediately recalled the image of her being pinned down by a middle-aged man. He recoiled as if burned, shaking his head and shouting, "I don't want to!"

My cousin's wife slept with another man, and not only did he not stop her, but he also took money from her. That's really unfair to my cousin!

The man glanced at Su Ming indifferently, then said to Qiu Tong, "Let's go!"

His tone was as flat as if he were giving an official business. After speaking, he opened the door and walked straight out, slamming the door shut behind him and shutting out the stagnant air in the room.

Su Ming slowly turned his head, his gaze coldly fixed on Qiu Tong. She was subconsciously raising one hand to gather her disheveled hair, while her other hand hurriedly fastened the buttons on her nightgown. As she moved, the fabric clung to her body, outlining the contours of her bare skin underneath.

To be honest, my cousin's wife is really beautiful. She has a model-like figure, tall and fair-skinned, with big breasts and a perky bottom. Her body curves are almost perfect. From behind, she walks with a swaying gait, like a mermaid. The key is that her face is also exceptionally beautiful, not inferior to movie stars at all.

I'm not watching anymore, I'm not watching anymore. She's a bad woman. No matter how pretty she is, she still ended up with other men. She's no longer my cousin's wife.

Su Ming immediately snapped out of his thoughts, his voice filled with suppressed hatred: "Is this how you treated my cousin?"

"Heh, it seems you have a lot of opinions about me!" Qiu Tong paused in buttoning her clothes, a bitter smile spreading from the corners of her mouth to her eyes: "Then what do you think I should do? Stay single for life, or remain a widow for five or ten years before remarrying?"

"This...I...I don't know either..." Su Ming shook his head, his face flushed.

"Look at how angry you are, as if I being with another man has caused you some great injustice," Qiu Tong sneered. "You can't expect me to never date anyone again, can you?"

Su Ming lowered his head, seemingly realizing his own unreasonable behavior. Yes, her cousin was dead, and it was her right to find another man. Besides, being alone in a foreign land, it was understandable that she felt lonely. It was normal for her to want a man.

He raised his face, deliberately changing the subject, and asked timidly, "Sister-in-law, who was that man just now...?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. I promised your mother I'd help you find a job, not so you could check my household registration." Qiu Tong interrupted him, her tone suddenly turning cold, carrying an untouchable distance.
